11. Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration
    These terms, and your relationship with us under these terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to its conflict or choice of laws provisions. Any dispute with us, or our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates, arising under or in relation to these terms shall be resolved exclusively through non-appealable arbitration with one arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Michigan. If travelling to Michigan is a burden, you may fully participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission allowable by the arbitrator. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees).
12. No Class Actions
    You agree to resolve any disputes related to these terms as an individual and not as a class or join any class. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision and the dispute provision above, we are able to offer the service as the terms designated, and that your assent is an indispensable consideration to these terms. You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with us, our officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or this Agreement: YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; and YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
13. Severability
    If any provision in these terms is invalid or unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be construed, limited, or altered, as necessary, to eliminate the invalidity or unenforceability or the conflict with applicable law, and all other provisions of these terms shall remain in effect.
